Last of all the set also gives collectors the rare chance of scoring a "printing plate" which is a metal plate used in the printing process of the cards, and randomly inserted Sketch cards sketched by a GPK artist. These can be some of the most frustrating cards to obtain, especially if the retailers are not in your area or don't participate (like the Toy's R Us in my town). This set will also most likely contain 5 "bonus cards" which are available through purchase of bonus boxes sold by different retailers. This set will also contain a Motion (Loco or Lenticular) card (inserted one in every 12 packs). There will also be a "Where Are They Now" subset, portraying classic GPK as they would appear today. This just shows how scarcity and supply/demand can shoot the prices for a brand new card to an even higher level than the old cards from the 80's and even highly prices collectables like original card art and rarities. Kind of a Willy Wonka "Golden ticket" effect. When the first Wacky Packages flashback set came out with parallels the ultra-rare "gold border" cards not only sold for enormous costs on Ebay but skyrocketed the amount of full box sales and ultimately made the cards a huge pain to find at any of the normal retailers. This means there are essentially 1040 different cards just in the base set alone. In addition to that each one of the base cards has four levels of parallels Gross Green border (inserted 1:3 packs), Punk Pink border (insterted 1:6 packs), Silver border (insterted 1:12) and Gold border (sequentially numbered to 85). The 160 card "base set" includes a&b versions of 80 classic cards with 6 of them being part of a "Lost Gpk" subset consisting of unused or rejected card images from the 80's.Ģ7a Stuffed STEPHEN 27b RUTHERFORD B. According to the promotional materials and dealer ads that have been released along with the Topps website, this set is going to be one crazy mess to collect. The most specific release date I've found is the week of February 15th, 2010 for the cards to appear in stores. When news was finally released from Topps that the GPK Flashback set was scheduled to be released early 2010 it seemed so far away, but now it's finally upon us and coming to fruition. At one time the set was rumored to be released in January 2009 but when that didn't happen some of us fans thought matbe the whole thing had been scrapped. It's the little things in life that give us something to look forward to and remind us of being a kid again.įor a while now we've listened to rumors of a Garbage Pail Kid Flashback set similar to the popular Wacky Packages Flashback sets that came out the last couple years. Sure, Ebay is a great place to find items and fill in gaps in collections, but there is just something about buying a fresh pack of cards off the shelf and putting together a set from scratch. It's been 2 years since ANS series 7 came out and there were new Garbage Pail Kids for collectors and fans to purchase.
